Partite graph view

Feature requests
1

Use case or problem

The graph view has a “Group” option to color the vertices by some rules. Sometimes I want to see them in literally “groups” - a partite graph, with all vertices of the same color grouped together in one part.

What I expect would be something like
OIP-C.TVeRB_9PIDLfY-omqJcnPgHaGs

(obviously we could do better than this, but it shows the concept.)

Proposed solution

Actually I’m not really sure, the API of graph view is not public … yet (I hope it will soon). I think rewriting the physics and add some constraints and forces to different colors (groups) might do.

Thanks.

Oh, that would be excellent. We have recently been doing a lot of work with graphs, for various purposes, and we see the use of Directed Acyclic Graphs expanding in so many areas now. Extending this functionality would be great.

@onDrag I agree very much so! I was thinking about this very recently, and remembered making a very similar feature request here: Graph view containers

I would love to see this either as a native feature or plugin. Hopefully more people agree. Thanks for making such a clear request with visuals!
